By now you should have read NINE OLD MEN and watched the videos at my wikipage called 12 Principles of Animation.


  • Find animated examples of the 12 principles of animation by researching online. Look here to see which principle you've been assigned.


  • Create a new page and link it to the principle you've been assigned to.


  • You can create a link by highlighting the principle listed here and then linking to the internal wikipage you've created.


  • Make sure that on the new page you embed the video if possible. If it can't be embedded then include a link to the site where you found it.


  • Explain in writing how it illustrates the Principle(s) you've been assigned. Tell who the animator is and what type of animation it is also.
